Flight Log - 2007-07-22 - Steve Lindeman's Red Baron

Bi-Wing glider that always dwaws attention.

Flight Date: 2007-07-22
Rocket Name: Red Baron
Kit Name: Squirrel Works - Red Baron {Kit} (SW-003)
Flyer's Name: Steve Lindeman
Motors: A8-3
Wind Speed: 9.00 mph
Launch Site: JMRC-M.I.S.

Nice boost as always with glider wind cocking a little due to a stronger wind than I like but otherwise doing its normal slight dip of nose after apogee then a small loop when ejection charge went off. After that it settled in to a nice spiral glide down to a perfect landing about 45 seconds later. Not a long walk for recovery and no damage. This is definately my favorite glider. The only thing needed now is a Sopwith Camel for dog fights (drag racing).
